Chapter 11 – A Literal Prophecy
and left nothing but ruin and desolation.

Titus besieged Jerusalem. He drew a trench

around it, according to the prediction of the

Saviour. A terrible famine ensued, the equal of

which the world has, perhaps, at no other time

witnessed. Moses had predicted that in the

terrible calamities to come upon the Jews if

they departed from God, even the tender and

delicate woman should eat her own children

in the straitness of the siege wherewith their

enemies should distress them. Under the siege

of Jerusalem by Titus, a literal fulfillment of

this prediction occurred; and he, hearing of

the inhuman deed, but forgetting that he was

the one who was driving them to such direful

extremities, swore the eternal extirpation of

the accursed city and people.
